Dragon Age: Origins fly-by posting

Even on 'easy' (or 'casual' as the PS3 version calls it) some of the Dark creatures are hard. I just spent the best part of an hour beating up an ancient Darkspawn over and over again. I really began to think I'd never win. Bloody things.

There was a spider queen earlier, too, which was more of a problem than it should have been if casual was actually casual. I hate to think what it would be like on 'normal'. As someone on my flist said, I'm in it for the plot not to keep dying all over the place.

Just wait till you get to the bridge puzzle. Though I hear it's easier on the console version than on the PC.

Mind you, the Landsmeet questline later on is magnificent. I'm very deeply in love with Loghain, and you get to see a lot of him in that, and make some tough choices at the end.

That bridge puzzle...very odd indeed. I did it eventually, but kept on having to move the dog around. Why did I have the dog in my party? Your guess is as good as mine, but he's more use than Lalania(sp?).

I'd just about reached the Landsmeet questline when Zavren turned on me. Bastard! Obviously I've saved at that point and will return to it at intervals to see if there are any fewer assassins/more ooomph in my party. It should not be impossible to beat anything at 'casual', it really shouldn't.
